Em Johnson's Uncle Louie, owner of the legendary Tiki
Goddess Bar on the north shore of Kauai, is participating
in the Cocktail Shake Off Competition in Honolulu, and Em
is accompanying him. The tiki bar is almost as famous for
its link to murder as it is for mouthwatering food, Louie's
tasty drink concoctions and the Hula Maidens, a troupe of
aging dancers, especially after being featured on the
reality show "Trouble in Paradise." Looking forward to a
fun time, Em isn't sure that will happen when the notorious
Hula Maidens decide to attend the esteemed event.
Shortly after their arrival at the Hawaiian Hilton, Louie's
sacred "Booze Bible" is stolen from their suite and held
hostage for $100,000 ransom. Worried about getting the
irreplaceable book back and having to come up with a new
drink for the competition without the bible and his taste-
testing parrot, Louie decides to rent a monkey guaranteed
to have a knack for knowing if a drink is great. If these
circumstances didn't promise enough likelihood for chaos,
Em's ex-husband is found murdered shortly after having
lunch with her...and she's the main suspect.
Of course, the capricious Hula Maidens, who consider
themselves a topnotch crime-solving squad, decide to play
detective, while also entertaining anyone in the vicinity
with their unique hula dancing. Sad to say, they are
actually better crime investigators than they are dancers.
Lucky for Em, hunky Kauai detective (and part-time fire
dancer) Roland Sharpe arrives to salvage the situation,
eventually attaining some pretty pleasant rewards.
I love reading and giggling through the Tiki Goddess
mysteries by Jill Marie Landis and the fourth entry,
TOO HOT FOUR HULA, is another great one. The hilarious,
realistic characters "dance" off the pages under the
author's deft pen. TOO HOT FOUR HULA is a fun, quick read
with nary a lull in the engaging plot, and I can't wait to
see what Ms. Landis has in store for this entertainingly
zany cast in their fifth outing.
A marauding monkey, a mysterious murder, middle-aged hula
maidens, and mugs full of Mai Tai's. Just another day in
Tiki Goddess Paradise…
Crime-solving sleuth Em Johnson and her Uncle Louie, owner
of the famous Tiki Goddess Bar on Kauai, head for the
Cocktail Shake Off Competition in Honolulu. What is
supposed to be a fun trip to a mixology contest turns weird
when Louie's legendary "Booze Bible" is stolen, and Em's ex-
husband winds up dead-with Em the number-one suspect.
Sexy Kauai detective and part-time fire dancer Roland
Sharpe rushes to Em's side along with the unpredictable
Hula Maidens, whose detective skills are even more
haphazard than their dance routine at the island tiki bars.
Toss in an escaped monkey and a killer who wants to make
this the last call for someone's honky-tonk, tiki-tossing
night out, and it's going to be another wild escapade for
Em and her Hula Maidens.
